Bafta awards 2025: Full list of nominations

Conclave and Emilia Perez lead the Baftas with most nominations

The nominations for the 2025 Bafta awards have been announced today (15 January) with major titles like Conclave, Emilia Perez and The Brutalist among the films with the most nominations.

All the contenders were be announced by Mia McKenna Bruce and Will Sharpe at Bafta’s headquarters on Wednesday during a live stream on YouTube and via The Independent.

Conclave surprisingly led the nominations with 12 across all categories, followed closely by Emilia Perez with 11. The Brutalist picked up nine nominations, while there was significant recognition for Anora, Dune: Part Two, The Substance and Wicked.

This year’s awards season has been one of the most unpredictable in recent memory with no clear frontrunner in numerous categories. Emilia Perez, despite being shunned by critics and audiences alike has become an unlikely hit with voters and won four gongs at the Golden Globes.

The Brutalist also impressed at the Golden Globes, winning three awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for Adrien Brody and Best Director for Brady Corbet.
